Hello thanks for your reply...
Is Acer will be a good brand compared with Asus or HP...
Also I read somewhere this laptop RAM is not upgradable... I already own a 8 GB DDR4 RAM and I need more RAM for Android Studio development and VMWare running...

Acer Swift 3 Ryzen 5 Quad Core - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/Linux) SF315-41 Laptop from flipkart
got this , has a spare M.2 NVMe and SATA port but BIOS is locked, only few WIFI card and ssd are permitted . Got a samsung PM961 M.2 PCIe NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 which is Samsung EVO 960 OEM https://www.ebay.in/itm/173215144093?aff_source=hasoffers&offer_id=19
but that was not recognized . It has no product page with specifications , customer care wont help , For everything its service center
After posting in Acer forums they recommended Intel 600p NVMe which is half speeds of Samsung one . that too because it has Acer part Number
Acer forums have no company rep . Its users helping each other so no official replies . have emailed called up different service center , visited one of them but no one will tell which SSD can be installed .
For installing samsung SSD took 750/ bucks as warranty sticker was there on screws . after SSD was not shown in BIOS and i asked them the reason , they replied its not compatible . I asked then why did you install and the fukn ass replies - you paid us to install SSD , compatible or not your problem .......

The cover needs to be taken out. First the black cover, then the steel cage and screws that hold it in place. It should have been an easy job. Performance difference would have been minimal except for sequential read write.

How is the laptop otherwise? Battery life?

Its fine otherwise , had checked reviews then taken . Battery is lesser than i5 , its 4/5 hours region
If you are planning it in 60k from FK then dont , better options available.
I took it because got it for 33.8k after discounts and exchange of a laptop whose nothing worked except screen ...... Had planned a Samsung 256GB M.2 SSD NVMe for 4.8k
So that totaling to 38.6k will have a decent laptop which has IPS screen and backlit keyboard . I dont do gaming so i5 8th gen /Ryzen were options , any would do . Empty M.2 port was mian criteria to add SSD later with HDD
It ticked in all so took it
Also took additional 2 years warranty for 1200/ knowing acer quality . So lets say for 39860/ i have this with 3 years warranty

Damn its 48k on FK now. Agree with you that Its fine laptop with a good build, and Ryzen does well. But not worth that much. IF it came to 40k +sdd , it would be great.
